"Altho not billed as such by TOH, I think this recipe is another fine example of something tasty & creative that can be done w/holiday meal turkey leftovers. The recipe intro was written by Donna Garvin of Glens Falls, NY who said "Greek seasoning, feta cheese & dill-cucumber sauce give this gyro an authentic taste. It was my family's introduction to how really good pita bread can be. Instead of feta cheese, we'll sprinkle on cheddar or Monterey Jack if we have it." As an added bonus, this recipe also includes an "interior recipe freebie" for the salt-free Greek seasoning used. The "freebie" inspired me because my DH is salt-restricted. (NOTE FROM ME: This recipe was shared as written by Donna & the TOH Text Kitchen w/5 min allowed to cook the turkey slices. If you use pre-cooked turkey leftovers, it becomes a no-cook recipe.) ENJOY!"
